Lori McKenna - Still Down Here lyrics

St peter says "You picked a real good day"
Your lungs fill back up with air
- your worries float away
Jesus smiles - he's a handsome man
He's taller than you thought - eyes so
Warm - reaching out his hand

In the Holy Kingdom angels sing a hymn
For all your good behavior they handed
You your crown & wings
You don't feel the sorrow
There's no pain no fear
Don't forget about me - don't forget about me
I'm still down here

Everyone knew - you were on your way
Earlier than expected
Said the papers that day
You saw your family - some
For the very first time
There were smiling faces
Strawberry cake and a welcome home sign

In the Holy Kingdom angels sing a hymn
For all your good behavior they handed
You your crown & wings
You don't feel the sorrow
There's no pain or fear
Don't forget about me - don't forget about me
I'm still down here

Here in the shadow land -
Here where there's doubt
Here where we must learn to live
- With what we live without

Clouds of silver and streets of gold
Where no shadow is cast -
And nobodies growing old
You find an old friends and
Take a walk around
But believe them when they say - "tell you
One thing - just don't look down"

In the holy kingdom - angels sing a hymn
Stay there above the clouds now -
Don't ever shed one tear
Don't forget about me - don't forget about me

I'm still down here
